Community Development Report ~ March 2011

Rhubarb pie ~ good anyway you slice it!


Following is a report of what happened in the Community Development Ministry in March:


Website: A church website has been updated and will "go-live" on April 2nd. Many thanks to the Carroll County Literacy Council for technical assistance. Please visit the website here: http://www.fccberryville.org/



FCC has a new e-mail address which we ask you to contact so that we can update our e-mail directory. The address is: fccberryvillear@gmail.com



The Carroll County Literacy Council has been in the Annex for 1 month and report happiness with the space and surroundings. We will continue to improve the space--and building--by exterior painting and updating as we can.



Our new Children's Garden is nearing completion and it will be ready for planting on or about the first of may. Some planting has already happened in the Community Garden. In March, $800.00 in cash, lumber, equipment rental, and concrete has been donated for these efforts. On a whimsical note, an old rhubarb plant that we abandoned after last year has popped up in the last few days and is going strong. Maybe we'll have some rhubard pie this year.



We continue to provide volunteer staff at Loaves and Fishes every Friday from 10 AM to 2 PM. If you have the time, please consider volunteering and give our every so wonderful reliable volunteers a break.



The church and surrounding surrounding buildings are now all WI-FI ready and allow members and visitors access the Internet freely. In other words, "we are wireless" and very up to date.



MANY thanks to everyone for your help and support.
